The Vita wouldn't even be in this position if they actually tried to advertise it and supported it since the beginning The PS3 is on its way out, and yet they choose to favor it over their new handheld. .

Absolutely pathetic .

You bought one yet for Gravity Rush, and you loved it, yet you say there is not enough to warrent buying it.

Nothing else, I bought it right around launch, If I could of seen into the future now, I wouldn't of bought it just for Gravity Rush. I did at the time figuring we'd see more quality games.

This just won't work, none of the people I know don't even want one AT ALL, just too damn expensive, it's a handheld and coupled with memory cards and a couple of games it's more expensive than a Wii U & 3DS!!!

Well, the only thing I really got out of all this is that Sony apparently has a rewards program now (when the heck did that start?).

They've had it for quite a while. It's not usually associated with their gaming side of business though. It's been in their Blu-ray products for at least two~three years.

Edit: Derp. Didn't notice that this has gone to two pages, editing in that quote now... Also felt like replying to an unread post.

I agree that it's expensive, but come on son. You don't have to exaggerate THAT far. Put those MSRPs together then compare it to a Vita and memory card (no game, as you're not using games as variable for the Wii U and 3DS purchase). You're now looking at $250 for the Vita + $30 for 8 GBs of memory - just enough to get you going at $280+ tax. Now compare that too... $300 for the Wii U + $170 for the 3DS ($200 for XL). You now have $470. But you know, it's only, what, a $190 difference. Not that it matters.

Of course, that's assuming that you were talking about putting them together. If you mean individually, then yes it would cost more than the 3DS, but not the Wii U. Because, again, you can't put variables on one side but not on the other. Then it's just a biased statement.

I can't exactly see anything else out of this aside from an act of desperation. Sure it's a way to get the word out to get a Vita (which is what SONY needs), but with such a pushy grammatical tone as well as an incentive that seems rash at best....?

Dear Friends,

My name is Jack Tretton. Recently, I have fallen on hard times due to the release of the Playstation Vita. I need your help. Buy a Playstation Vita, and then send this letter to 5 friends. You will receive $20 in PSN credit. They will also buy Playstation Vitas, and send them to 5 friends. Then they will get $20 in PSN credit. Anyone who doesn't buy a Vita and send this letter to 5 friends will receive bad luck for one year. Seriously, I need some help here guys. I'm in big trouble.

Sincerely,

Jack Tretton.

Tell you what sony, you drop team ico game, dark cloud, colony wars, sce alundra (oh wait, you got rid of studio liver pool aka PSYGNOSIS!), legend of dragoon, or any number of the truly, epic franchises you have been ignoring in favor of your manbaby candy of this gen on the vita, I will convince everybody in the world to buy a vita.

Until then, cant help you.

I actually think this is could work, however the increase in sales would be hardly noticeable.
The reason no one wants to buy a vita is because there isn't enough killer apps for the system, problem is now that sales are so low developers are leaning away from the vita because they cant turn in enough profit it the vitas current financial state.

[RetroPrime]

I'd have to pay my friend to buy a Vita.
